What is the name of the Catholic Church year?
The name of the yearly cycle that the Roman Catholic Church undergoes is called the Liturgical Year. There are several Liturgical Seasons celebrated during the Mass and throughout her Liturgy. They are written in order: Advent/Christmas, Ordinary Time, Lent/Easter, Pentecost (for one week, the Church offers Mass for Pentecost), and Ordinary Time. The Liturgical Year ends on the last week of Ordinary Time, on the feast of Christ the King. Then, the Liturgical Cycle begins again with Advent. It is noteworthy to mention that the Church creates a new Paschal Candle with the current year at the Easter Vigil, on the night before Easter Sunday. There is also a Cycle with the Gospels: Cycle A, Cycle B, Cycle C. In each of these cycles, which changes as does the Liturgical Year, different Gospel authors are read at the Liturgies. I hope this answers your question.
In Medieval Times did they have pancakes?
Yes. Pancakes have been dated back to the ancient Greeks, so they were certainly around in Medieval times. However, pancakes have changed considerably through the centuries, and the pancakes eaten by people in Medieval times were different from modern pancakes. Aside from the pancakes eaten in Ancient Greece, the pancake as we know it developed as a result of Shrove Tuesday, the last day before the beginning of Lent. Lent isa time of fasting, particularly in the Roman Catholic church, and more so during Medieval times when the Roman Catholic church very much influenced the lives of everyday people. Shrove Tuesday became the day when flour, eggs, and sugar - all important ingredients of pancakes - had to be used up. They were not permitted to be eaten during Lent because they were regarded as indulgent foods, catering to pleasure. Shrove Tuesday dates back to at least the 12th century, so pancakes were most certainly around during Medieval times.

What were some of the religious practices of ordinary people in the middle ages?
Most people of medieval Europe were Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox. Some were Jewish or Muslim, and some were pagan. Apart from the pagans, the religious practices of these groups were very much as they are today. I have long regarded any description of pagan practice as suspect, because I have never found any that were written by the pagans themselves. Christian religious practices included baptism, confirmation, marriage, confession, and unction for those who were sick. Ordination of priests and consecration of bishops were done with these people. Of course everyone was buried, and those in the good graces of the Church were given funerals. Less formal practices included observation of various fasts and feasts, especially those of Lent and Easter. Many people went on pilgrimages.
